Nevertheless, according to both laboratory and field observations, we describe a broader range of trophic habits and a very large spectrum of feeding behaviours. We briefly discuss the hypothesis that the display of such an opportunistic behaviour may be related to environmental changes due to human activity.Our data agree with the hypothesis that dung beetles are provided with a much wider ethological valence than that they usually express in nature.

Distributional data are briefly discussed, taking into account the main geographical pattern of genera and higher groups. By considering both distributional and eco-ethological features of involved species, the importance of the studied area for analyzing the organization of biodiversity in the Southern Cone of South America and its history is also outlined
